This avante-garde Berlin hotel offers guests the chance to sleep surrounded by mirrors or clouds or cryptic painted symbols. Each of the 30 rooms presents a uniquely vision.

Not only are the beds and decor individual for each room: designer and architect Lars Stroschen has also composed six soundtracks as an acoustical accompaniment to the adventure. Find out which rooms families with children go for, why the mirror suite is not as popular as one would think, and whether one can get used to sleeping under the floorboards.
